In wich sequence do you put the carbs back on?

Im curious to learn a different technique to put the carb boots back on. They are a pain in the a**.

What sequence technique do you use?

Carvall

 

I take it you mean the rear boots to the air box ? & yes PITA is right, but 2 & 3 first is the order, soften them in some hot water.

 

Not different than what I do but thanks for your comment.

 

I push them into the airbox, then wedge and pull them onto the carbs after they are seated into the block side boots. Concentrate on getting the outer lip out of the airbox when pulling it forward and it will push itself onto the carb. It is a pain but with some work I can get them back in in about 10 min

Secure the Accelerator Cable Attachment so it is above the Manifolds when the Carbs are reinstalled.
(String or Pipe Cleaner)
Wipe Manifolds with Armoral
Apply a SMEAR of Synthetic Grease to Manifolds Inner Open Ends.
Smear Synthetic Grease on Carbs Intake Necks.

Work carbs in from Left side
Line-up Intakes and Manifolds
Pry Rack into Manifolds with Hammer Handle Prying Tool
Clamp 3, 2, 1, 4

Identify Airbox Boots in lineup.
2 - Straight
2 - With Bias
Select straight Boot and connect 3
Select straight Boot and connect 2
Select Bias Boot and connect 1
Select Bias Boot and connect 4

During Airbox connection process:
Prep Boot and Box
Spray Silicone Spray into Tuna Can
Q-Tip Paint locating Channel on Boots
Sprat or Paint Airbox Hole - Bothh sides.

After Boot's Locating Channel is placed in Airbox, ... rotate to find best fit of Boot onto Carb Intake Horn.

I have only done it a few times but I don't find it to bad....
I use silicone grease on the boot lips and the outer carb surfaces where the boots end up making sure not to get any inside the carb or the boots. I make sure that the air box is moved all the way back, going from the right side of the bike I work the carb rack in and get them lined up with the boots, then I turn the back of the carbs downward and at the same time taking my fingers and running them around the air boot lips going from one to another while at the same time pushing down on the rack. Eventually they fall into the air boots after a couple of minutes. Then you just have to push the whole rack forward to push them on to the intake boots, make sure they are properly seated in the boots fully and tighten the 8 boot clamps. Boom, done. Do it in about 5 minutes or so.

 

This is basically what I do, except I use WD40 since I don't mind it getting into the carbs or the engine as it just burns away in a few seconds as long as your going to be running the bike right afterwards, and it's great with softening up the rubber temporarily.

 

Same here unknown, but I used marvel mystery oil, seemed to work fine also. The real key for me was soaking the boots in hot, soapy water in a small cooler to soften them up. Do the two inners, then the two outers, and button it all back up. Used a zip tie to keep the throttle linkage up and out of the way.

 

Oh ya,
the throttle linkage.... I used a twist tie to hold it up and into place so I would be able to grab it to hook it up to the throttle cable easily.

 

Very hot water (15mins) and armoral.

I do not place in the air box first. Shove the boot in so it
seats on the carb lip first then just spin the boot around while
working it in.

This always works well for me and can get them on in only a few minutes.

Of cource this is with an xj700n.
